[QUOTE="soberups, post: 659943, member: 14668"] The trick is to embrace the fine art of [I]detachment[/I]. Own what is yours, but dont take on what isnt. You can and should still give a crap... [I]about the things that you can control[/I]. I continue to give 110% on this job because thats who I am. At the same time, I am continuing to learn to let go of what isnt mine. I have accepted the reality that Telematics is here and it isnt going away. I have also accepted the fact that my management teams job security depends upon finding things about my job performance to complain about, so if I dont give them anything they will simply make something up. It isnt personal, so there isnt any point in getting angry about it. They chose their path and I chose mine. The reality of UPS in the Telematics age is that any action you take to get off of one report will simply cause you to appear on another one. The entire system is designed put pressure on people by creating a perpetual loop of expectations that can[I] never[/I] be met. Perfect methods+ 100% compliance= overallowed. Underallowed= flawed methods+ non compliance. There is [I]no way[/I] around the reality of these two equations. The beauty of Telematics is that once you [I]embrace[/I] this fact you can turn it against them. Give them 100% compliance and 100% obedience to whatever flavor of the week they try to cram down your throat, and watch their system collapse like a house of cards. After all, you are simply working as directed. They made their bed, let them lie in it. [/QUOTE]
